The Energon Pub

found HA Sideswipe at the Miller Rd. Target in Flint today. only had the one. He's a lot better lookin in person than the pics led me to believe (also way easier to stand and pose than the deluxe). Whats up with the center of his face that can flip up?

The guys and gals should all like it for 'those' kind of reasons, and Joe fans will like it too, even if it ain't perfect. It's still tons better than either TF movie. At least, I was less annoyed by it and it's humor and changes, then I was by TF's changes and crude humor.

It is a fun movie. And it's also fun to look for cameos by different folks.

I was very satisfied with the movie, especially compared to the TF movies. The comic Joe origins are so complex they needed to be simplified for the movie, so it worked. I wouldn't have minded alittle less of the Faux-Will Smith performance by Marlon Wayans. All and all for a blockbuster action movie, it was pretty good.

Yes, I know I could get Joe to come out and post if I said something about the GI JOE movie!!!

Welcome back!

I am a sucker for talking about the "other" toys in my life. Bloomington, IN selection is fairly limited, one each of Target, Kmart, and Walmart. We are spoiled in Metro Detroit with 4-5 Targets within a short distance.

Found 1, only 1, HA Sideswipe at Target on Haggerty and 7/8 mile rd. Nothing else new yet.

I just saw that DIA Commander and the Superion add on kit are processing at BBTS. I can finally ship my loot and get my Henkei Red Alert

Congrats, you're only 2-3 months behind on that one...

I hope you enjoy those toys RC.

They have the Preview Wave, Wave 2, and Wave 4.
But, they have pretty much all of the Voyagers.

Does this Target you speak of happen to be in Battle Creek? I ask because it sounds just like mine.

No, Westland.

I went to the Kohls across the street from it yesterday.
They had almost all of the deluxes.
Three green Breakaways!
I had no money.

Even Swerve?

Mostly Swerve.


I want Swerve.

I got my big box of Transformer goodness from BBTS today.

DIA Commander is awesome, as is the superion add ons. Henkei Red Alert looks fantastic. Encore tapes #2 are very nice. Alternity Megatron is a very interesting figure. I love the swords. I can't wait to get an Autobot sticker on DIA commander. It will make the set that much better.

eveyone have a good weekend and such. i am out to my families cottage for a week. so hoplfully when i get back i will have found some figures i was looking for.


and GI joe was awesome.

Hi all,

Been lurking here for quite a while. Just wanted to say, I've been searching everywhere for the new deluxe figures(especially for the ice cream truck twins) and haven't found much of anything, except at target (blazemaster, jolt, and deadend). I went to Kohl's last night in Kalamazoo on west main and drake and they had blazemaster, jolt, deadend, and ONE ice cream truck twins. I grabbed the Twins (awesome figures). They also had quite a few of the older figures too in case you've missed something. So check your Kohl's of all places. Only place I was able to find Bumblebee concept back during the first movie.

Also, Target on west main had two Devastators. Walmart on 9th St had Ejector and Nightbeat. Otherwise I've seen pretty much shelf warmers for the Walmarts\Meijers\Targets\ToysRUs in Kzo\Portage.

Kohl's always seems to have the new stuff. Same thing happened with the first movie and Animated. What are the prices of deluxes there? they used to be more expensive than everywhere else, but now since everyone else has raised their prices, I'm curious if kohl's did.

Welcome to the Michigander's Thread!

Thanks for the welcome. I believe they are $12.99, but are on sale right now- you have to buy 2 to get $10.50 each. Probably should have picked up jolt too, but not still sure I'm all that keen on him.

does anyone know if there is a paint variant for ROTF Breakaway? I saw a few of them at the Michigan Ave Target in Canton last night and they are a lot darker than the one I have. I'm not sure if this was changed, or it was strange lighting. It looked a lot darker and a lot better too.

Yes, there's a more brown Breakaway and a darker, graphite colored Sideways...

Just saw Unicron.....I don't really have an attachment to him, but should I get him anyway? I'm torn.....Kind of feel the same way about devastator...but of course he is over twice as much....

I've noticed the darker one as well. Looking forward to the Thrust variant. I've held off on breakaway to get thrust... whenever he comes out.

How many Jolt's were there at the Kohl's on west main, because I'm going to be up there tomorrow seeing District 9 and doing a little off to collage shopping.

Brandon Inge walk-off home run for my birthday! Woo-hoo!

Pretty sure there were at least 2.

Cools. thanks for the info.

Hey guys, I just stopped at a local Meijer (Standale) and Animated and Classics Universe voyagers were ringing up $10 on clearance! They were still stickered $16.49. I couldn't help but pick up Classics Blaster and Treadbolt.

UPDATE: Love Treadbolt! I'm kicking myself for not picking up this mold sooner...

Woohoo! Found Long Haul!
I went to WalMart and he was hidden way in the back of a bunch of Voyagers stashed in the aisle behind the actual Transformers section. Knocked down a couple of biking accessories as I rummaged through them, lol. I love that I'm thorough.
I also found one HASideswipe at a local Target the other day, but I've been seeing him everywhere ever since. He's a good figure, but feels kinda... minimal in robot mode. Too much backpack, not enough torso. Still, the HA vehicle modes are amazing so far.

Been seeing Devastators everywhere. Just waiting for my paycheck to clear...
And that's a good tip. I'm so going to Kohl's to try and find Jolt. Last time I was there, they had the usual shelf-warmers. I haven't seen him anywhere yet.

Rijie (Andrew) need your new digits, I was trying to call you on Thursday because I ran into some Ravages on my family's trip to visit more family in Lansing, wondering if you were still looking for one. Too late now, but good for future knowledge.

Jolt is pretty good, except I really dislike the birdlike head.

There are two Breakaways- a tan dirt colored one (early release), and the more common to see now, olive green colored.

ROTF Devastator is starting to show up more places.

OMG all the new GI JOE toys shown off at the con... so many amazing things to spend my money on...
